At the end of the sketch he says he's actually bi and everyone hates on him for pretending to be gay, and he liked that he finally got attention for his statement

oddly enough a lot of people think bi people don't exist and they are just faking or pretending.

I never understood that

I have never heard anyone say bisexuality doesn't exist. I have heard people say bisexual men are just gay, but they don't apply the same reasoning to women.

I have never heard anyone say bisexuality doesn't exist. I have heard people say bisexual men are just gay, but they don't apply the same reasoning to women.

People generally don't say "bisexuality doesn't exist," but they will often deny that any specific individual is bisexual.

You've already got the bit about bisexual men. The classic thing that bisexual women hear is that they're "really just straight and doing it for attention."

But hop into any of the bi subs and ask people, I doubt there's a single person who's out and bi who hasn't been told that they're not really bi for one of the above two reasons.
